Allen monument unveiled in Russia

The Annie Hall star reached the milestone on Wednesday (01Dec10), and officials in the port of Kaliningrad marked the occasion by revealing a special concrete column dedicated to the Hollywood legend.

It features a bronze hand holding a huge pair of Allen's trademark spectacles, and has one of his famous quotes - "All people know the same truth; our lives consist of how we choose to distort it" - painted on the side.

Officials in Kaliningrad chose to honour the legendary film-maker because the city was formerly known as Konigsberg - Allen's real surname.

And it's not the first monument to the star - a life-size statue of Allen stands in his favourite Spanish city, Oviedo, where he shot his 2008 movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
